About Kristen
Kristen uses client-centered care to listen closely and shape sessions around each persons goals. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness exercises are offered to help calm the body and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
She also draws on solution-focused strategies to identify small, achievable steps people can try between sessions. That makes therapy feel like action instead of just talk. Kristen describes growth as gradual and measurable, and she checks progress along the way.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with blended family issues, chronic pain or illness, divorce and separation, panic attacks, and women's issues.
Kristen has five years of clinical experience working in Michigan. Sessions are conducted in English. People who want to start can use the platforms Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapists availability.

How Kristen's approaches fit into online therapy
Kristen uses client-centered work to begin sessions by understanding what matters most to the person she meets. That approach means the conversation is shaped by a person's goals and priorities, and sessions tend to move at a pace the client chooses.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify thought patterns and behaviors that increase stress or anxiety, then to practice concrete alternatives. CBT can be helpful for panic attacks, persistent worrying, and depression by teaching skills that can be tried between appointments.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help people notice physical and emotional reactions without judgment and to build tolerance for difficult moments. These practices often involve short exercises that can be done at home or during a break at work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristen collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks what is helpful and adjusts strategies over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It also enables practicing skills in everyday settings so progress can carry into daily routines.
